That is a B16. If you are going to swap motors, find a B18. And in your case, I'd say buy an entire front clip and not just a motor. The clip will have everything you need on it whereas a motor alone willbe missing a lot of what you need. Just some things you will get in a clip that you won't in a motor: pedals, brake cylinders and lines, radiator (I think it's bigger than yours so use it), all the heater and coolant hoses, and engine mounts. It's well worth the extra initial cost when you don't have to go running around finding all these little extra parts that you need but don't have.

How much do you know about working on cars? If you don't have a lot of experience then I would not reccomend doing an engine and trans swap. Take it a step at a time.
